Whilst China was very interesting we were very glad to fly back home. The food was ok (it may be that we just didn’t do enough research), the people mostly friendly (though everyone tried to sell you something, or upsell you) and the pace of Shanghai in particular was certainly fast and akin to New York. I can see why people regard Shanghai as the new New York. We probably had our best meal in China - apart from the Michelin starred roast duck place in Beijing - at the airport. Ironically, it was hainanese chicken rice with crispy pork belly - from a HK renowned place called Tsui Wah. The staff were aggressive and pushy, highly impatient and was angry when I couldn’t understand what they were saying. Oh they places you’ll go. #china#tsuiwahrestaurant翠華餐廳#hainanesechickenrice#porkbelly#crispy#airportmeal .
We also went to a place called Yangs dumplings and it was ok-ish. Plenty of way better dumplings here in Australia. Our only comfort food was the $7 Rose apple we bought (not sure why it is so expensive?) and a $20 pomelo (pictured, again not sure why it costs an arm and a leg). They were juicy, delicious and reminded us of Thailand and Malaysia. #travelphotography#foodporn#pomelo#roseapple#leavingshanghai

Dunno what life would have for me in 2018 but hey, this old girl has been through a lot, including being stabbed and abandoned... so no matter what it is, I just smile and keep going.
Thank you 2017..... you were awesome
Welcome 2018.... I have no resolution but I'm ready! #leavingshanghai
